Where Felecia is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Felecia has been most common in Alabama (5×), Mississippi (4.4×), and Georgia (3.3×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.26×).

7,941 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
